American Marconi Wireless News - Tharimmune Appoints Renowned Counter-Terrorism and Critical Infrastructure Expert James Gordon Liddy (CDR US Navy SEAL (Ret)) as Key Strategic Advisor Against Weaponized Fentanyl and Other High-Potency Opioids Following Positive FDA Feedback

Mr. Liddy brings a distinguished career and unparalleled expertise in national security and preparedness to Tharimmune. As the Senior Advisor to the Director for Strategy, Policy and Initiatives for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, and previously the Chief of Plans and Policy for the United States Special Operations Command's Washington Office, he played a pivotal role in designing and coordinating policy, operational plans, and strategic initiatives for the Global War on Terrorism. His experience as a member of a highly classified national security program further underscores his deep understanding of the threats facing the nation.

Notably, CDR Liddy's tenure as the Combating Terrorism and Special Operations Officer for the Chief of Naval Operations saw him as the principal architect for the Navy's Anti-Terrorism Force Protection Plan and the leader of the Navy's elite Antiterrorism Assessment Team (Red Cell). He also spearheaded the creation of DoD's Anti-terrorism and Force Protection Plan DoD Directive 20012.H, demonstrating his capability to develop and implement critical protective measures at the highest levels of government.

Tharimmune recently announced positive feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the advancement of TH104 for the prophylaxis indication against ultrapotent opioid exposure. The FDA indicated that no additional clinical trials appear to be necessary prior to a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) submission, allowing Tharimmune to leverage existing data and focus on this critical unmet need for military personnel and first responders.

"We are honored to welcome James Gordon Liddy to our team as a strategic advisor," said Vincent LoPriore, Executive Chairman of Tharimmune. "His extensive background in counter-terrorism, critical infrastructure protection, and the development of national security strategies aligns perfectly with our mission to advance TH104 as a crucial medical countermeasure against the threat of weaponized opioids. Mr. Liddy's insights and guidance will be invaluable as we work to bring this potentially life-saving prophylaxis to those on the front lines."

Mr. Liddy's deep expertise in threat assessment, preparedness, and response planning will provide Tharimmune with unique strategic perspectives as the company navigates the development and potential deployment of TH104 within national security frameworks. His understanding of the operational environments faced by military personnel and chemical incident responders, as well as the critical need for effective countermeasures, will be instrumental in shaping Tharimmune's approach.

"I am impressed with Tharimmune's commitment to addressing the serious national security threat posed by high-potency opioids, including weaponized fentanyl," said James Gordon Liddy. "The potential of TH104 to provide a temporary prophylactic solution is significant. I look forward to contributing my experience to help guide Tharimmune's strategy and accelerate the availability of this important medical countermeasure to protect our servicemen and women and first responders."

Mr. Liddy holds a Masters Degree from the John Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and has completed the Information Operations Curriculum at the National Defense University. He is also a Doctoral student in Complex Emergency and Disaster Management at Tulane University, with a Graduate CBRNE sub-specialty curriculum from the Uniformed Services Medical School, Bethesda MD. He is also the co-author of the New York Times bestseller, FIGHT BACK, Tackling Terrorism Liddy Style.
